Madness with Maps

In September, Google became embroiled in an argument over its naming of Chinese-Taiwan as ‘Taiwan, Province of China’. In October, Google Merged its Google Map service with its Google Local service, and in doing so removed the legend describing the island as a Chinese province. Problem solved? Not quite.

It appears that Google has not entirely gone over to Taiwan’s side.

Apparently, Taiwan is only Taiwan so long as you speak English, and the same goes for Taipei.
